Smol Lore Olympus redraw :3

Fast passers, how do u feel about the pacing atm for the last few eps? /gen

Personally I think it’s fine, I’m just curious what you guys think as well

YES QUEEN! SLAY!!! <3

that one critical account needs to chill, the regular episode is amazing and yall just need to hate on something 😭

Why does everybody critical or who doesn't like lore olympus insist on tagging it lore olympus 😭 I just wanna scroll through some theories or people who aren't just criticizing it (simply bc I'm enjoying it and everyone is entitled to their opinion, no judgment if you dont) and despite blocking all the anti tags the posts still show up as "this post has a tag you blocked" :((

Ik it's still 'lore olympus' content technically but you've created another tag for it ! Just use that lmao

Visual representation of me reading this:

I was not ready.

im still kind of in disbelief that that the internet like...turned on lore olympus. i get the whole "once something is popular people make it their personality to hate something", and the "incredibly online people make age gap discourse about immortal gods bc they need to touch grass," and you're certainly not obligated to like it, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but like. it is a genuinely good comic. its issues are no worse than like, most serialized web comics that have to struggle with the medium, and its art style is engaging and interesting, and has improved a lot over time. i know there was a very t*rf-led movement on here a LONG time ago starting discourse about greek myths to get crypto t*rf shit about femininity across and i know thats where some critiques come from. and it's weird that many criticisms of "modern retellings" get blamed on lore olympus bc it doesnt actually follow them - like, demeter isnt some crazy bitch, she's a character with complexity and depth.

yes the original intent of the story is changed, a story that women in ancient times could relate to about the fears of marriage, but LO actually does what modern retellings of old stories do best - modify a story to serve a similar purpose, but reflecting the modern audience's contemporary issues. in this case, embracing the complexities of love and marriage as a survivor of sexual assault, something many modern women struggle with. persephone's relationship with demeter ALSO reflects a very real struggle many modern young women have, of finding identity and sexual agency as an adult when your entire life has been controlled by a helicopter mother, even with the best intentions, and with her own trauma.

i also find the criticisms of the body types and sexuality often misogynistic and weird - people want things with a distinct, interesting style, they want women with sexual agency to be promoted and not sanitized, and yet LO gets over-criticized. how persephone dresses, how the other gods dress, changes a lot depending on level of confidence, mood, etc, and is a part of the storytelling in an interesting way. you don't have to like it, and i know there's jokes about the LO art style of drawing women, but i have a body like some of those bodies. i know other people who do, or at least similarly. it's not like a lot of comics or manga or anime where everyone is a stick, and they get to be sexy! it's nice!

and when people complain that its the only webcomic people read well then thats a YOU problem. i read a LOT of webcomics. i talk about them to people, i recommend them. romantic and otherwise. do you? do you spend as much time complaining about lore olympus as you do talking up other cool webcomics that deserve attention?

rip to all the lo antis after may 11th, i know it's gonna be tough not having those precious two minute-reads to bitch and moan about every saturday (without fail) (for several years) (for some godforsaken reason)

may y'all actually find a hobby you enjoy, or god forbid just make your own adaption of the persephone myth because it turns out nobody owns greek mythology

Queen Persephone from Lore Olympus!!

saw Rachel’s announcement on LO ending on May 11th (for fast passers anyway)

with this news, I feel conflicted, bc on one hand I’m glad it’s ending bc yknow she worked on it for like 7 yrs but one the other hand it just feels so soon?? How is Rachel going to wrap up on what she has rn in 8 chapters. Adding on, this comic has its ups and downs and I acknowledge that’s it’s not perfect but still LO was a safe place for me and I made so many memories with old and new friends in this fandom. It was a rollar coaster of events but I enjoyed this comic from the beginning to the end and I’m happy for Rachel ❤️

Can you give a hint on the fast pass, if that is okay with you?

WOAH THE FAST PASS??
